To —


Give me but the energy,
That guides thy dauntless will;
Give me but thy ardent hope,
That no reverse can chill;

Thy buoyant soul, that on life’s sea,
No billows can o’erwhelm,
When Faith sits smiling through the clouds,
And Reason holds the helm;

Give me these qualities of thine,
In such a meet alliance,
And I, like thee, upon the fates
Will smile a calm defiance.
